I don't know what makes you say that Peter. ICANN has put .eu inclusion in the root on the fast track. And it is the EU itself that has been announcing that .eu is coming real soon now for a few years, whilst it meanders through a byzantine maze of its own making. -g

Ditto what fnord said. ICANN has bent over backward not to upset the EU on this point because it knows that .eu will be added as soon as the EU can agree on how it is going to be run. .eu should be added anyway, but this point has been discussed in several places on ICANNwatch for sometime, and it isn't going to convince you otherwise.
